west of the north fork of Red river. in
the southwestern part of the Indian
territory, or attempting to exercise any
authority over the same in cOntraven-
tion of the authority of the United

exercise jurisdiction over the same as
county officers of the state of Texas.
1t is also stated that an intention has
been declared to have one-half of these

y vote cast for Major Lemont for
sheriff will be thrown away. There Is
not even remote probability of the
major being elected, and he and his
friends know this. Then why not vote
for Judge Stevens? He is a man thor
oughly identified with the best interests
of Barber county; he has, on many oc-
casions, proven that he is an efficient.
careful and honest officer; his neigh
bors will say that he is kind and ac-
commodating; his political enemies
will admit that he is a manly and fair
opponent. AS sheriff of Barber county
he will prove to be an honest, upright
and conscientious official.

Does it not appear to the union-labor
people of Barber county that Jerry
Simpson is the last man in the county
who should be opposing Judge Stevenst
We say, just stop and think over the
political events of this county during
the past two years, and then say if it is
not the basest ingratitude for Jerry
Simpson to be opposing his old friend.
his neXt-door neighbor, his former bust
ness partner. There is q growing be-
lief that Jerry is sour toward all man
kind. however. and maybe he can't help
fighting his old friends.

Ex-Deputy-Marshal LemOnt does not
even expect to be elected sheriff. But
suppose he did. and then what? lie
has never done anything for Barber
county that the county is proud of, and
it is not likely he will ever do anything
Of credit. lie has a pasture in the
Cherokee Strip. and rents it out; but
that is of no value TO this county. lie
was deputy-marshal Of Kiowa, but even
in that position he did nothing that was

y lie is being lndustriously circulated
by certain republicans TO the effect thai
Judge Stevens was a Missouri bush
whacker during the war. Great Scott
When will people learn to be honest and
truthful? Judge Stevens did not even
move to Missouri, from Illinois, until
long after the war, and there is no ust
of lying about it. There are no less
than fifty of the best citizens of Barber
county - some of them republicans
some union-labOr people and some dem
ocrats-who knew Judge Stevens il
Cass county, Missouri, and every one
of them will bear witness 10 the fac
that he was good officer and an ex
emplarY citizen. And more nearly al
of these people are tor Judge Stevens
for sheriff IN the present canvass.

Mayor Peck, of IIazelton, may wen
be content with the honorable position
he holds. for II Is not in the cards for
him TO be elected county treasurer. The
fact Of the business is, the people of
this county do mol want any oil speeu-
lators and adventures TO handle the
county money. The people are con-
v.nced that Mr.. Peck is such an adven-
turer. and therefore they prefer some
plain. everyday man, like Jim. BrysOn,
for treasurer. Bryson is man who
can be approached by the most humble
citizen. Peck will expect taxpayers to
remove their hats when entering his
august presence.
